When we were kids, Dr. Seuss books were all about silly words and crazy characters that eat green eggs and ham (in a boat or on a goat), or balance fish bowls on their heads. My favourite was Fox in Sox because I was actually pretty good at those tongue twisters.
Today, there’s a new spin on one of Dr. Seuss’ most beloved characters that I think you’re going to love.
Fall 2010 marks the launch of the new kids’ television show The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! Airing on Treehouse in Canada, this new animated preschool science program is based on the Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library book series.
In Ice is Nice! the Cat in the Hat takes Sally and Nick to visit the North and South Poles, where they mingle with native animals—reindeer, musk oxen, polar bears, caribou, and all sorts of penguins. They discover how the animals stay warm in the freezing cold, learn why it’s colder at the South Pole than at the North Pole, find out that one pole is located on land and the other isn’t, and learn that scientists are studying climate change to keep both poles icy cold.

Show Me the Honey – The Cat, Sally and Nick, and Things one and Two shrink to bee size and learn how bees communicate via dance, collect nectar and split it into combs, turn it into honey, and seal the combs with wax.
I Love the Night Life – Can Sally and Nick help The Cat in the Hat find his famous red-and-white-striped hat in the Forest of Wagamaroo? It looks unlikely until a trio of nocturnal animals show the Cat and kids how to do so.
